[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

The addition is boring. Worse than a similar addition for The Sims 3. Clothing Store !? What for??? Clothes can be chosen anyway, but in The Sims 2 it was appropriate, and here it is not at all.

For the first expansion pack it isn't that bad, they added aliens which are quite cool to use but the interactive careers are boring after you've played them a couple of times, they are also fairly glitchy. The retail system is quite mediocre and I feel as if it could be slightly refined and improved. For the first EP it is alright. 5.5/10

First expansion is an amazing Sims 4 experience. 3 new active jobs let's you play with your sims in their jobs.

Another sims 4 game that is only made for money and nothing else. All there is you get 3 new jobs and that's about it. Don't waste your money on this unless you want to I really don't give a s hit.

I was gifted this game. While i've really enjoyed the careers on offer, I burned through them quickly and there are only 3 of them. Definitely not worth the $50 asking price in Australia (unless you're mr/ms infinite disposable income). I feel this should have been included in the base game (as well as get together). I would value it at about $15/20 max based on the fact I do not have the endless supply of money that EA charges. I will probably be grabbing the rest of the dlcs when i see them in the bargain bin

Sims: Get to work, the first expansion packs; offers a huge amount of game play options. The new introduction of working careers is done very well, along with the ability to run your own store. At it's full price of $50 it's hard to justify, however find the game of sale and you've got a must buy!

After all those years we, the players needed to have the right to put the jobs in our town and not EA taking control of the game play in those jobs. To find a couple already divorce living in a house for a detective case is not only wrong but also make no sense at all. This game need a total make up ! We don't need the perfect Sims so quo "alive" in a dead world !

Jobs that have been in the Sims series since the first game inexplicably went missing from Sims 4. Oh, wait, here they are, in an expansion pack for $40 on top of the $60 base game. And the Origin store site has the sheer unmitigated gall to call them "all-new". This is just despicable.

I was very excited to get this because it talked about a jobs you can go to I was excited. After I bought it I found out you could only be a docter, scientist, or police officer. Cool jobs but no that amazing. I like the aliens and I like the new cloths and hair I like that you can get you own bussines and run employees definetly a cool feature but not worth 40 bucks. Don't buy untill it gets cheaper because the price is crazy.

You really shouldn't have to try this hard to get someone to buy some cupcakes. The expansion pack does pack a great amount of new features but the some of the aspects are just bad approaches.

Great addition to a game that I think gets a lot of flack for no reason. This is an interesting addition to the game and it was definitely needed to make include more depth into the game. This is the expansion that was always missing from The Sims 3. The Sims 2 had something similar (Open for Business), but it didn't include interacting with professional careers. The new careers that are added are interesting. I have a guy who is 5 stages into the doctor career and one that is about 5 into the criminal detective career. It's a neat new mechanism and if you decide that you don't want to go to work with them one day, it doesn't force you to. I think overall that this was a vital inclusion for the series to make people like 4 a little more (although I've loved it the whole time). My only gripe is that it is hard to get through the doctor's day sometimes if he knows all the characters, since "greeting" characters requires you to introduce yourself. It can sometimes do that in addition to making my other goals impossible at the moment, and can result in a bad work day.. I have not seen such oddities with the other jobs though. The new items are great and now I'm just looking forward to the new additions :) However, I am docking 2 points from a 9 to a 7 for the reason of Origin. My sister and I have always loved The Sims and we normally either take turns buying an expansion pack or we split it and then install it on both of our computers.. Well origin puts the code into the first account to use it, so... we could no longer split these games.

I for one have enjoyed The Sims 4. I know it had some flaws and all but that's to be expected pre-expansions. I think this expansion is wonderful! The 3 careers are interesting and unlike in Sims 3, we can actually go to their jobs with them and perform actions. Some of the careers are a bit stressful but it gets easier once you get the hang of it. The only reason I didn't give this a 10 is because a) I'd like to see more jobs and b) it didn't add to the preexisting jobs. It would be hilarious and intriguing to get to be the mascot in the bodybuilding career XD. All in all, I think this was a good expansion; it just needed a little more work for the price tag. But it brought something new and fun to the table for the franchise. Don't go by the user rating. Anything related to The Sims 3 is being shot down by the haters right now. If you check sites that require actual purchasers to rate, the ratings are much, much higher.

Sure the jobs you get with this are amusing at times and it's definitely a welcome addition to the game seeing how little content the game truly has... However charging $40 for this DLC, two thirds the price of the game itself is honestly disgusting, and actually a bit insulting. This is no where near worth the asking price and I'd highly advise against buying it, wait till an (unlikely to happen) sale or just... you know... don't get it....

Ценовая политика ЕА скатывает почти все их игры в полное говно. Не будьте жадными, вы не Кодзима, чтобы продавать демоверсии. Да и сама Sims 4 хуже Sims 3. Про то, что ЕА умудрились провалить еще и SimCity писать не буду, другая игра все-таки.

Thank you EA games for taking another franchise several steps backwards. EA refuses to listen to its fans, instead dictating what people should want. This game represents another failure on their part.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It cost me tonnes of money (£24.99) to buy this game. I admit, it's a pretty good price. Then, opened the game case to find that you have to buy the sims 4 itself to make it work! I am probably going to sell get to work to a millionaire or something (the only person who would buy it) , unless I find a good price for the original sims 4 on ebay or something. The sims 4 original costs £49.99. What a rip off. I checked Amazon and it says nothing about needing the sims 4! It may be obvious to you video gamers but I thought that sims expansion packs were a seperate game. It definitely was with the sims 3 pets! If I got the game it would cost £73.99. I dont know why so many people buy it.

Com o passar do tempo, todas expansões do The Sims ficaram na mesma mesmice, com os mesmo conteúdos e nenhuma novidade inovadora, e com essa não foi diferente.

Best Expansion Pack Ever!!!! 10/10 Would buy. everyone who says its bad is wrong and they cant handle change. the sims has entered a new era and if you dont like it have fun playing ts3 **** for the rest of your life

I think people are being far, far, faaaaar too generous with the score for this fresh and inspiring insult to the intelligence of any Sims players. Although the content of the - what I like to call - "mini expansion" (because it really is bloody small), is exactly what the title indicates it will be, what the HELL happened to the rest of the careers? This simply doesn't cut the ****, and dear lord lest we forget, for readers from the UK at least, that the game was being sold for SIXTY QUID with NOTHING ELSE included, along comes this fresh piss in the wind, and they want nearly THIRTY quid in some places for this tiny little addition! Electronic Arts has a long way to go if it really wants to appeal properly to the UK consumer market. Some people might be either die hard fans or just too stupid to spend more money than they have sense on simplified versions of the Sims, but not me. Nuh-uh. I got this bad boy borrowed. Three careers. One activity. An awful lot of wasted money. I would actually not be offended by it if it wasn't for the huge twenty quid difference the EA company expected the UK consumers to fork out for the base game alone. Unfortunately if you get this and you're already disappointed by the EA base game and how much of a veritable pot of gold you had to chuck out to get it, if you have half a brain cell, you'll be massively **** off by this.

Total pile of **** . Its the same boring idea sold again, how many times are they going to make the exact same DLC for the games ? Is nobody at EA interested in new ideas ? has no one got the stomach to try something different, all we got with the Sims 4 was a tiny graphics improvement and loading screens .............. next DLC will be some random location, then pets, then seasons, then some education BS . Do not buy this tripe .

This expansion made the Sims 4 worth buying in my opinion. It would of gotten a great 8 out of 10 if they had put a tad more time into it and made every job interactive, but the 3 jobs that they did do, are fantastic. Something we've all wanted for years we finally got a respectable version of it. One job has you starting at the bottom and working up till your a master detective. This was the first job I chose. It's actually pretty interesting. Each job has a bar that you have to fill up in one day to do the best performance you can. Do more tasks, fill the bar, easy. The tasks for a detective can get repetitive, but you have to look at it as this. You do the same crap over and over again in a real job in real life. Sure they could of added plenty more interesting events that goes on, but for me it's perfect. Soon you will be collecting evidence from a crime scene, then gathering your clues and setting up an APB. It's pretty cool that you get to interrogate the people you take in. You can be a good cop or a bad cop. It's basically the same thing around for the other two jobs, Scientist and Doctor. You work your way up by doing whatever. The big shiner for this DLC is definitely the choice to buy a retail store and sell items you make or buy for a higher price. It works great and is an addition I want in the next Sims game. Overall, GTW is a great expansion that filled my needs, but it being 40 dollars is up to you.

Awesome start to the Sims 4 expansions! OFB was one of my favorites and while this EP doesn't live 100% up to that it brings back those feels. Was a little sad to not see restaurants and things like customer loyalty and reviews, but the new things like photography and clothing boutiques make up for that! With the business aspect combined with active careers it makes for a great change to the base game. The active careers are what i have always wanted! While we did have ambitions in the Sims 3 it just didn't do it. Working with your Sims in the workplace not in a rabithole is amazing! I was getting fairly bored with the base game and im excited for the expansions to begin, they bring so much to the game! Excited for the future.

So here are my tohughts. Im loving the new careers, but I would like more being added in the future (vets in sims 4 pets, teacher in sims 4 university... ) I also think that intead of adding aliens and some other small things I would have enjoyed more to have a more detailed content (careers and retail) and made for example aliens its own EP (with several species, new worlds (in which sims can live) resources, factions, styles of architecture... etc instead of just having two fancy consumes and a bunch of makeup. I think some things are missing in the expansion pack, for that reason I prefer a really immersive and condensed retail/career rather than scattred pieces of gameplay. The fact that there are no locked doors, lines in the cash register, HOME BUSSINESSES, and more EMPTY LOTS (it wasnt so difficult to add the three working lots and a bunch of emppty ones in magnolia promenade...) I mean, the experience is so limited that the rest of the content isnt so enjoyable! As well, hospitals look so boring! There is a lack of the tension environment of a real hospital! areas full of sick patients, lots of doctors... In the Sims, its just a line of 5-6 people and nothing else. That was **** career should have gone in a more management path, as it would have been amazing if we could actually MANAGE something or run our own hospital or prison, not just clicking some interactions. This expansion pack could have brought theme hospital and prison architect into one game, but it just didnt. And where is that little machine that would require customers to pay in order to enter in aa lot (in order to be able to maange your own gyms, bars, etc...) Just a few more objects would have made this EP the best, it just didnt. Retail isnt as good as in the sims 2. I really miss the "persuasion skill", and customers just dance and make circles to talk. The general experience is a bit shallow. I do love the new employee interface though. But employees actually dont work. Cmon EA, you can do better... MY CONCLUSION: Rushed expansion pack. Ea managed to transform the best EP ever (OFB) into a not-so-fun remaster. Feels really limited and the doctor career is just clocking action bubbles. Again, a bit mediocre. EA, intead adding a bunch of incomplete stuff, make a fully-detailed and WORKING, immersive EP not including, for example, aliens.

Fantastic edition to the game. A step in the right direction, so much content! From what we can see, this is definitely proof of future expansions to come, with the way its going, I can truly see The Sims 4 being reshaped into a cult classic.

Great EP. There are lot's of things to do. Really interactive, you won't get bored easily with it! Keep the good work up EA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

This EP is great, lots of things to do... It's basically everything TS3's Ambitions should have been... Open for Business was my favorite EP when I used to play TS2, and this one now remembered me that one... now TS4 feels more complete.

It is very good and I recommend it to buy, but sometimes I think that I always do the same stuff over and over again. But overall it is a great expansion/addon!

This is the expansion pack everyone wanted! The world is a bit small but this is a great game. This is the grand sendoff for Maxis. I think this is the best expansion pack in the series.

Great EP. I love that you chose not to make separate EP's, like... retail and action work. It's a great EP. Solid, entertaining. Even tough the world is so small, you have a lot of opportunities and you can spend time seeing each career and seeing which one suits. For me, this is the best ever EP, so... keep it up!
